Eagle Shark

What Eagle Shark does

Eagle Shark A/S is a privately held Danish strategic advisory firm headquartered in Copenhagen, founded in 2011 by two former members of Denmark's Special Operations Forces — the Jaeger Corps (Jægerkorpset) and the Frogman Corps (Frømandskorpset). The firm delivers four core services to enterprise organizations operating in complex, sensitive, and high-risk environments: Corporate Intelligence (continuous AI-supported monitoring of media, social media, public records, forums, and dark web sources with human-analyst validation), Due Diligence (Corporate and Enhanced Due Diligence on individuals, companies, and counterparties with structured delivery within 48–72 hours), Risk Advisory and Travel Safety (threat and country risk assessments plus a mobile Travel Safety app with SOS, push notifications, and API integration to corporate travel management systems), and Crisis Management (24/7 alarm centre, evacuation support, and crisis advisory for geopolitical, reputational, and operational incidents). These services are delivered through annual or multi-year Strategic Framework Agreements that bundle multiple service lines with predefined governance, escalation routes, and included advisory hours, supplemented by tiered subscriptions (SDD+, CDD, EDD) and tiered crisis frameworks.

The underlying technology combines AI-powered monitoring and AI-supported research with experienced human analyst validation and quality control, supported by an ISO-certified operational foundation. Through its wholly-owned sub-brand ESCD (Eagle Shark Cyber Defence) and the Spectrum cloud platform, Eagle Shark extends into cyber risk assessment, penetration testing, threat intelligence, and incident response, creating an integrated security advisory-plus-software offering. Named engagements span pharmaceuticals (Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Sanofi), media (TV 2 Danmark), luxury goods (Pandora), financial services (Citigroup), agriculture (Syngenta), engineering (Danfoss), tobacco (BAT), the International Olympic Committee, the United Nations, and International SOS.

Commercially, Eagle Shark operates an enterprise field-sales motion built around confidential, senior-level engagement that converts one-off needs into multi-year framework agreements. Public pricing lists subscription tiers ranging from roughly EUR 2,000/year (Crisis Response) to EUR 24,610/year (Strategic Risk & Crisis Framework), due-diligence subscriptions at EUR 3,300–6,600/month, and hourly advisory at EUR 140–235/hour. The firm has received three consecutive Danish Gazelle Awards (2016–2018), maintains an active LinkedIn and earned-media presence in outlets such as Berlingske, Børsen, and DR1, and claims no external venture or institutional investors; ownership remains founder-led with Christian Spohr as CEO, Mikael Thiesen as CFO, and Erik Bjørnsen leading cyber defence.
